Just to say I'm not trying to refute anyone's post, concerning this
All I did was look at the Greek behind the the words.
I have just looked up the KJV which does render it as 'another' in verse 6&7
Yet the NKJV renders it as 'different' and then 'another''
So my confusion is "Why are two different Greek words used?

Stones has a wonderful way of replying to my post without actually addressing my posts. She made the above statement and I asked a legitimate question. To which I will receive no answer.
Instead of just doing a drive by, why don't you show me how mainstream Christianity is not the largest purveyor of disobedience to the God of Abraham on the planet? Is there another group larger than MC who comes in God's Name, but doesn't do what He says? I won't hold my breath for your answer.
In Acts 15, the Mainstream Church of James time also wanted the Gentile "Babes in Christ". Thankfully James kept them away from them and their religious traditions and sent them to the Scribes on the Sabbath to hear the unfiltered truth from Moses, as Jesus instructed them in Matt. 24:1-3.
I am faithful that God will protect His "Babes" who are truly seeking Him, from the religious traditions and doctrines of men that you espouse, as He did the New Converts in Acts 15.

Yep. 'Hypocrites' they are called. This is exactly what I was explaining to you:

Hypocrites will not inherit the kingdom. They will go to the fiery place, not into the kingdom:.
51"and will cut him in pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth."-Matthew 24:51
Only those who are saved with works confirming their salvation will go into the kingdom. Works do matter. They don't earn your salvation. They are the required evidence of salvation without which you will go into the lake of fire.
